Claude Lorrain: Drawings from the collections of the British Museum and the Ashmolean Museum Details
Published to accompany an exhibition at the British Museum and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, this catalogue looks at Claude Lorrain, as a draughtsman, focusing on his style and technique. The majority of the drawings are taken from the collections of the British Museum, with a selection from the lesser-known collection of his work fromhoused in the Ashmoleon Museum. They include Claude's "Liber Veritatis", preparatory drawings and nature studies composed in the Italian countryside. These allow a reappraisal of the range of his drawing styles and offer an opportunity to look again at the role of drawing within his art as a whole. Read more
